Rebozo Ceremony
Also known as Closing of the bones, Postpartum Closing, Rebozo massage, "Cerrada de Cadera" and "Baños Postparto".
I have designed this service as a ceremony integrating learnings and traditions from my female ancestors and hybrid knowledge and practices.
This practice is based on my own cultural beliefs of women's care, health and wellbeing, along with learnings from Naoli Vinaver's way of conducting this work.
My certification is my lineage, my blood and my ancestors
This service is most often offered to postpartum women as a nurturing way to honour their bodies for the work of pregnancy and birth, but any woman can benefit.
It is particularly meaningful for women moving through a significant threshold: a house move, miscarriage, abortion or termination of pregnancy, separation, divorce, bereavement, the end of a period of study, menopause, or any other moment that is emotionally, physically, or physiologically intense and important.
We grow and change through all of these life events (birth included) and this ceremony helps us re-gather ourselves, reconnect with our centre and source, integrate what has happened into our new being, and feel more at ease continuing with life.
The knowledge behind this practice
This ceremony is rooted in the indigenous (Nahua and Tének) understanding of health that I received from my mother, grandmothers, aunties, and other chosen family members and friends. This knowledge has been passed down through generations and lives within indigenous-descendant families like my own and many others in Mexico.
In this way of understanding health, we place conditions and illnesses in two categories: hot and cold. When these fall out of balance, we become unwell: physically, emotionally, or spiritually. Certain life events can weaken the body's defensive strength, making it more vulnerable to "coldness" entering.
Pregnancy is understood as a hot condition (think of the inside of an oven). When the door of life opens to welcome a new human being through a woman's body, some vital heat is lost. As the body (physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual) takes time to close again, cold can easily enter. This ceremony supports the recovery of that warmth and aids the closing process.
Among the many benefits attributed to this practice are a faster postpartum physical and emotional recovery, and it is also believed to help prevent postnatal depression.
About my practice and training
This ceremony is grounded in my personal learning, family knowledge, and lived experience as an indigenous-descendant woman of Nahua and Tének heritage from the Huasteca region. I do not claim to offer an officially indigenous ceremony from any specific ethnic group.
I have also trained with Dr Rocío Alarcón in her treatments Rohipping and Romanteo, which I completed in June 2026. I have begun incorporating these techniques into the massage element of the ceremony.
What the ceremony includes
My closing ceremony is composed of three key moments:
-
A warming massage treatment
-
A herbal hot bath
-
Rebozo tight wrapping
The ceremony lasts approximately three hours, with as many breaks as needed.
You may invite up to two people to be present for an intimate experience, or you can organise this as a group gift for a friend (maximum six attendees recommended).
